A summer dress with a 1960s twist, courtesy of this Miss Behave Vintage Crochet Dress at Peacocks.

Very much the warm weather dress (so perfect for the current mini-heatwave), it's a fairly short number with capped sleeves, zip back fastening and that large button detailing on the front.

It's an online exclusive, available only in the turquoise colour and in sizes 8 to 16. £30 is the price.

Antelope Chair by Ernest Race – the Festival of Britain chair reissued

Ant

It might look fairly unassuming, but this is a British midcentury classic, the Antelope Chair by Ernest Race.

Back on the market 60 years after its first introduction, the Antelope Chair originally appeared on the terrace of the new Royal Festival Hall at the 1951 Festival of Britain and was said to be a compromise between English tradition and Scandinavian innovation.

The chair is made of welded steel rods, with wood used for the seating. Simple it is in construction, but that's not actually reflected in the price. One will set you back £505.

Mauthe

I don't know the maker, but this 1960s Mauthe wall clock certainly oozes midcentury style.

The manufacturer is actually out of Germany, producing this square wooden wall clock with platic accents and brass hands, finished off with a modern quartz movement, battery power and the maker's name in brass just under the '12'.

It's sized around 13 x 13 inches and is described as being in 'very good' condition. Price? Right now it's at £5.50.
